DBI begin_work doesn't work with stored procedure calls

Question

I am trying to make a call to a stored procedure from with in a transaction in its simplified form:

my $dbh= DBI->connect(............  );  

my $sth = $dbh-&         


        

Answer 1

Make sure you explicitly finish() every executed prepared procedure CALL before you explicitly commit() the transaction. E.g.,

$sth->finish;
$sth->commit();

This appears to be a bug to me, given the typical semantics of finish(). Multiple result sets, calling more_results, etc. did not matter.
